Chapter 458 It’s better to fight for a career than to fight for a man
Qin Zhao was silent for a moment and said: "As the crown prince, many people are watching your words and deeds. In addition, some people have ulterior motives. It is normal for this matter to be spread."
Although it was detrimental to Xiao Ce's reputation when this incident came out, Xiao Ce stayed in the Yangxin Palace after going to Cihe Palace to stay with the emperor who was in poor health. This was also a way of observing filial piety.
She thought it wouldn't be much of a shock.
But Xiao Ce's behavior still made her feel very unusual.
Thinking back to the time when Nian Su had mentioned Xiao Ce's visit to Changqiu Palace, she felt that Nian Su must know the secret behind it.
When Xiao Ce came to Wangyue Residence in the evening, Qin Zhao did not hide his curiosity and asked directly: "I heard that Your Highness did not go to pay New Year's greetings to Concubine Shu today. Why is that? After all, Concubine Shu is also the Crown Prince.
My mother-in-law..."
"You can't leave alone." Xiao Ce interrupted Qin Zhao.
Qin Zhao found that Xiao Ce was avoiding her eyes, which was obviously Xiao Ce's excuse.
"If Your Highness doesn't want to talk, then I won't ask. Then has His Highness had dinner? How is the Emperor's condition?" Qin Zhao deliberately changed the subject.
Xiao Ce thought of the previous scene in the Yangxin Palace and said calmly: "Father's illness will get better."
After saying this, he tied up his hands and walked away.
Qin Zhao didn't expect him to leave as soon as he said so. Looking at Xiao Ce's back thousands of miles away, she thought of Xiao Ce's indifference when he mentioned Qin Guifei in her previous life.
He said that Concubine Qin was just one of his harem...
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be concerned about the Emperor's condition. Liang Di, don't worry, everything will be fine." Bao Zhu saw that Qin Zhao was also a little depressed and hurriedly reassured him.
Qin Zhao shook his head: "I want to go out to eat."
Let's blow some cold air.
She has long passed the age of feeling sad for spring and autumn, and today is the first day of the new year. If she makes herself in a bad mood on the first day of the new year, wouldn't it be a bad start for the more than 300 days of the year?
head of?
When she woke up this morning, she deliberately forgot about returning to her previous life, just to tell herself that there was no need to take it to heart because it was all in the past.
This is the life she wants to live well, and everything is going in a good direction in this life. What reason does she have to let her life be as miserable as in her previous life?
Furthermore, the Xiao Ce in this life is different from the Xiao Ce in the previous life.
Isn't this enough?
After blowing the cold wind, her mind became clearer. When she unknowingly went to the Wangchun Pavilion, she heard He Liangdi's voice coming from inside: "Are you sure His Highness did not go to Changqiu Palace to pay New Year's greetings?"
"I'm sure. I don't know who is spreading this news. At least the entire East Palace knows about it." It was Xiangqiao who answered.
"Although His Royal Highness the Prince is aloof, he usually respects Concubine Shu. This time he didn't even go to pay New Year greetings, which is really strange. Well, you go see Nian Su tomorrow and she might know the reason." He Liangdi quickly made a decision.
"Why are you looking for Niansu?" Xiangqiao was puzzled.
"Nian Su was once a person whom His Highness the Crown Prince trusted very much, and now she has returned to Changqiu Palace. She is the bridge between Concubine Shu and His Highness the Crown Prince. After all, it is right to spend more time with Nian Su. Maybe Nian Su will be useful in the future.
When Nian Su is in trouble. Furthermore, Nian Su is not being used much when she returns to Changqiu Palace. If I help her in times of need, she will be grateful to me and maybe she can still be of use to me in the future." He Liangdi talked eloquently.
When Qin Zhao heard this, he secretly thought that He Liangdi was a scheming person.
But how could someone like Nian Su be willing to be taken advantage of?
After that, Qin Zhao walked near Tingfengxuan and heard Li Chenghui mention Niansu.
"Nian Su has been having a hard time recently. Go and give Nian Su some snacks tomorrow." Li Chenghui told Green Heart.
When Lu Xin heard this, he was puzzled: "Nian Su was sent away by His Highness the Crown Prince, so why is Cheng Hui still so kind to Nian Su?"
Isn’t it useless?
"Niansu is currently on duty in the Changqiu Palace. Empress Shu is the biological mother of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I still missed her when she was in decline. She will definitely remember me. In the future, Nian Su can also help me in the care of Empress Shu.
Please give me a few kind words." Li Chenghui had his own plan.
Qin Zhao, who was near Tingfengxuan, wanted to roll his eyes after hearing this. Everyone wanted to bribe Niansu with small favors, and their wishful thinking was very loud.
Bao Zhu saw Qin Zhao muttering and didn't know what he was talking about. She was extremely curious: "What is Liang Di talking about?"
Qin Zhao felt this and said: "Nowadays, palace maids are really popular."
Baozhu was happy when she heard this: "Is it possible that Liangdi thinks that being a palace maid is better than being a master?"
Qin Zhao put his arms around Baozhu's shoulders and said with a smile: "No matter what your status is, as long as you are happy. I am happy as a master, and I will be as happy as a palace maid one day."
"Liang Di has always been transparent and has never looked down upon my slaves. Being able to serve Liang Di is my blessing." Baozhu said with emotion.
"I am lucky to have met you." Qin Zhao's words were of course sincere.
She was a little sad before, but after going out for a while, she figured out that it is better to fight for a career than to fight for a man. Since she is destined to struggle to survive in the harem, then she will be the strongest one.
As for men, she hadn't been able to figure it out in her previous life, and there was no need to worry about it in this life. She didn't have Xiao Ce's desires in this life anyway.
Because he figured out this simple truth, Qin Zhao walked much easier and faster.
On the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Qin Zhao went to bed early. If she could go back to her previous life, she hoped that Xiao Ce could tell her how the Queen Mother died in her previous life.
Perhaps, she can also give the Queen Mother a long life and good health.
On the second day of junior high school, Qin Zhao got up early, still lamenting that it was not so easy to go back to his previous life.
After washing, she went to Cihe Palace to pay her respects to the Queen Mother, and once again confirmed that the Queen Mother was in good health and there was nothing wrong with her. This meant that the Queen Mother probably did not die of illness in her previous life.
Before leaving Cihe Palace, she told Aunt Li numerous times to take good care of the Queen Mother. Aunt Li responded repeatedly. Until Qin Zhao left, Aunt Li was still sighing: "Qin Liangdi is better than the emperor."
You are caring about your empress, she is thoughtful."
"Girl Zhao seems to be worried about the health of the Ai family." The Queen Mother said thoughtfully.
Grandma Li also feels the same way.
After Qin Zhao left Cihe Palace that day, he returned to Wangyue Residence, planning to have a spicy hot pot meal with Si Bao and Ru Xi to make up for the regret of not being able to have a meal together as a family on New Year's Eve.
When the hot pot was ready, Qin Zhao personally poured a cup of red wine for each of Si Bao and Ru Xi: "You five have worked hard to take care of me in the past year. It's been hard work. I respect you five."
Sibao and Ruxi were frightened, and they said in unison: "I don't dare."
Si Bao was usually a maid, and Ruxi was also a palace maid, and they had never dared to sit at the same table with Qin Zhao before. In their deep-rooted knowledge, Qin Liangdi was their master, and there was no reason to sit at the same table as a maid.
